As the season winds down, the Wine & Gold continue to endure their NBA growing pains; the operative word being “pain.”
Once again, the young Cavaliers were right there in the homestretch. But once again, they couldn’t quite seal the deal – with the Wizards closing the contest on an 11-2 run to win their 8th straight, handing Cleveland the difficult 119-110 decision on Sunday night in D.C.
After an entertaining, back-and-forth affair, the Cavaliers tied the contest at 108-apiece with 2:45 to play, but Cleveland would score just once more – on a Darius Garland basket with 18 seconds remaining – falling in the first meeting this season between these two teams.
